Straník is a hill with an excellent view on the city of Zilina and the surrounding mountains, paragliders use to launch from up there, tourists use to come there to enjoy the view. There was a pathway, a provisional shelter and bench. The municipality was thinking about building a view tower there to attract more visitors. Instead of adding a new element, the architects (2021 and LABAK) decided to "translate" the existing infrastructure into contemporary architectonic language.
